Use a strong pokemon, get its hp down to red, then put it to sleep, then use a weak pokemon to eat away at hp slowly, then chuck balls at it (i caught two regies with pokeballs no more than four tries, but maybe i just got lucky, i dunno...)

When I face Kyogre and Groudon, I save right in front of them first, and then I use a Master Ball on them. For Rayquaza I save in front of it, and then I use Swampert's non-Supereffective attacks until the HP was low enough to try and catch with Ultra Balls. Then I use a lot until Rayquaza is finally caught.

•Save in front..
•Start battle, immediately throw a Quick ball (if possible).
•Proceed as normal until health is in the yellow or red.
•STATUS CONDITION TIME! Either Sleep or Paralysis.
•Spam Ultra Balls or whatever ones I might have on me that could help. (Dusk Balls FTW.)
•If that doesn't work, then just keep stalling for ages, or if the pokemon can use recover, repeat until in the yellow/red again.
•Spam Timer Balls.

I don't usually have a Pokemon with False Swipe... .___.

[Recolours by the wonderful gardevoir rocks! From her shop, The Palette Swap Shop]♥~ I play Pokémon for enjoyment - I don't bother with EVs, I don't battle competitively, and I use my favourites. If any of this offends you, I'm sorry, but it's how I play. ~♥

1. Make sure I have great or timer, not ultra balls on hand (I always seem to have better luck with Great Balls :P)
2. Save in front of it.
3. Knock it to red health.
4. Status condition it.
5. Catch it.

I always weaken it down very low health, and I if I can, get a status thats not burn or poison, because that knocks them out. I also save before it, then throw multiple Ultra balls. I only use my Master ball when it comes to the legend that runs and flees around during the game.

I like to take the approach that every pokemon is unique, and therefore should require its own Pokeball to match its color and sheen.

Therefore, if it takes something like a Poke Ball or a Great Ball, I bring along something to wall it off, something to spam status and lower its stats, and something to get its HP down both swifty to get it low, and then a lower-level mon to get its HP down to "barely alive" level.

Then, I either paralyze it or keep putting it to sleep, and then start spamming the Pokeball(s) that match it, and hopefully that is the one I will eventually catch it in.
